Fluidy Woman

I woke up and coughed for nearly an hour. I felt like caca.

So I called my doc and they made me come in. They tested all my fluids - spit, snot, urine, blood and then did another chest x-ray (they did one last week & it was clear). I bet I lost at least 3 pounds from giving up my fluids.

I have an itchy rash too.

I'm falling apart. So I slept most of the afternoon. It's been a while since I did that.

Elvis now has a cold too. Everyone has gotten this crap. The doc said that I probably had some virus that has inflamed my brochia or something like that. He told me I'd be sick for two to three more weeks. Fun.

Other than the cold and the rash, I feel pretty good. I love the cooler weather.

Zoe's on the phone with her dad. She wants to go to see him and see snow. She whispered to him "Can I go see you tomorrow?" He has to work Christmas day so he's not sure when he can come visit. He was either going to come here and hang out or come here and bring Zoester back with him. I wish he hadn't said anything to her until his plans were finalized. Especially since he says he has some clothes and toys for her and was going to send her. He's been needing to send them since summer.

I've been Christmas shopping this year already - but most of it's online. I went to this one outlet store and I think it aggrevated my cough because it was so dusty. It was also booby trapped as when you picked up one thing on the shelf, all this other stuff would fall off. I like online shopping, but I'm not going to get her a lot this year. I feel like I pretty much give her Christmas year round. And I'm trying to save up my money. I think my biggest expense is my Starbucks. Since the spinal taps, if I don't drink one cup every morning, I get awful headaches and am totally worthless for the rest of the day. But I also have been making my own at home. Not quite the same, but it works.

Ok. I can do this. Even lacking the fluids, I'm all over it.

Your assignment today is to do something in the holiday spirit. Even if you just celebrate like winter solstice, I want you to eat some candy, bake some cookies, go for a walk in the cold all bundled up, start a fire in the fireplace or mail someone a real letter. Zoe likes mail. Send one to her.

Elvis is on a business trip and will be gone on and off for a few months in training. Today is the first day since we met that we didn't see eachother. I miss you, but the plan is the plan. At least have some fun there.

*smooches* to all of you. Especially you.
